One Year

It has been exactly one year since my last (and first) post to this blog. And quite frankly I have nothing of interest to put in this particular post. I just thought it would be appropriate considering I just realized it has been exactly one year, to the day, since I posted.

In the past year I quit my job, continued to continue my education but I'm hitting it a bit harder now, had another birthday, recently lost a family member, have become a better (by no means great, much less good, but at least better) housewife, had a medical scare, and got a new dog. Not in that order.

Oh, and I've been knitting like a fiend. I've been knitting so much that I've started to branch out to things other than afghans, finally, after 9 years. I knitted some awesome toys, tried a poncho (really should have used some different yarn) and thought about trying a cardigan or the like for myself. I've also been thinking about designing my own hats and mittens and selling them in the next Fall and Holiday Expo that my sister and brother-in-law put on every year. That really is an ultimate goal for myself, selling my knitted goods.

Currently I'm working on an afghan for my mom and will soon be casting on a drop stitch afghan for my "mother-in-law" (she really isn't but her son and I have been pretty cozy for the last 7 years, so for lack of a better term, this one will do, besides she's awesome and I love her like a mother).

Well, on to more knitting and hopefully I will find interesting things to post in the future, even if I am the only one who will ever read this.
